How to Make The Autumn Envoy | Fall Bourbon Cocktail 

Welcome to Episode 87 of Thirsty Thursday Cocktails on Your Bourbon Journey! Tonight, we’re stepping into the cooler September evenings with The Autumn Envoy—a deep, brooding, and decadent twist on the classic 1920s Boulevardier.

Instead of traditional Campari, we’re leaning into savory, earthy depth by bringing in Cynar 70 Amaro. Paired with the rich cocoa and botanical vanilla of Cocchi di Torino Sweet Vermouth, allspice-forward Bittercube Jamaican #1 Bitters, and the bold backbone of a 110-proof Russell’s Reserve Single Barrel, this cocktail delivers an unbelievably silky, viscous texture and a lingering cracked-pepper finish.

Grab your mixing glass, chill a coupe, and let’s craft the ultimate spirit-forward autumn sipper!
